a) Oppo research is very common. What's unusual is to seek out foreign nationals for such research.

b) Glad to see you finally accepting the value of anonymous sources. This was a good sentence from the linked article. "Russia’s effort was personally directed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, involved the country’s military and foreign intelligence services..."

Nothing you post suggests collusion by Hillary's campaign.

Do you have any suggestions as to why Trump's campaign has repeatedly denied and then changed their stories about meeting with Russians? Why would they say such meetings never took place if they were no big deal?

Get over it Paul...Bernie lost, fair and square. Hillary may not have been perfect, but I bet that a significant number of Trump voters (perhaps even you) wish they hadn't done it. Grow up, grow a pair, and deal with the realities of Trump. Our world depends on it.

If Bernie lost fair and square why was the head of the DNC made to resign........just before the Dem convention no less

Trump and Hillary were both candidates when (a) the meeting with the Russian lawyer took place and (b) when Hillary supporters paid for oppo research from alleged Russian govt officials and (c) when the Ukrainian govt provided info to Hillary's campaign.

I only care about what's bad for Trump and his family. I'm totally biased and proud of it. If it embarrasses Trump and, more to the point, leads to his impeachment or the imprisonment of his family members, I'm for it! And you can add Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell to my definition of his family members.

Paul, is there any way that you can re-direct your fury away from Hillary and the Democratic Party and work toward building an alternative to Trumpism? You have so much energy and cognitive power that could be spent building a more sustainable future.

My "fury" is directed at a knee-jerk, mindless, evidence-free mantra that makes people feel good but pushes us closer to Nuclear War

I hope you and others here will support our upcoming initiative that will call for a major effort to combat climate change -- presented as a jobs program -- funded by a shift of resources from the military budget (starting with the proposed obscene increase of $54 billion) to provide massive subsidies for wind, solar, ocean and geothermal power.

I have no trouble supporting that kind of initiative, Paul, and I honestly wish you would spend more time educating us and helping us direct our energies in this sort of "resource shift." My not so wild guess is that many others here feel similarly and are happy to learn of ways we can help steer such a shift.
